Want to see someone’s face light up? Offer up a gourmet cookie. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who wouldn’t reach for one like Gollum reaching for the ring.
Gourmet cookies are getting bigger and tastier all the time. A major marketing agency found that 95 percent of us eat at LEAST one cookie per month. So who has the BEST? Leave it to Eat This, Not That! to come up with what they call the nation’s best. So let’s see if we can find some here in Clarksville!
Coming in at number one is Insomnia Cookies. Started in a dorm room in Pennsylvania the chain now has over 200 stores. All are served warm and can be ordered as late as 3 a.m. for late-night studying (and eating).
Levain Bakery in NYC comes in at number two. These cookies are huge at 6 ounces each. Customers say their Chocolate Chip Walnut, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, and Caramel Coconut Chocolate Chip are some of the best cookies they’ve ever tasted. Though their expansion does not include Clarksville, thankfully they ship across the US.
Number 3? Straight from the Ulta plaza on Wilma Rudolph Blvd., it’s that glorious pink box filled with the ever-changing Crumbl Cookies!! This chain is relatively new having started in 2018, which makes having over 800 stores that much more impressive. Thanks to the millions of devotees of Tik Tok and Instagram, these cookies became legends fast. And with a menu that changes every week, it’s a genius way to get us all coming back more.
The other two cookies rounding out the top 5 are Fields and Milk Bar.
So do you agree that Crumbl cookies are the BEST cookies in Clarksville?
